Society owes me a brother

Chapter 169

"The hand of God reappears in the world!"

"Another addition to the billionaire club!"

"The 20-year-old Huaxia boy manipulated the international crude oil market and became the biggest winner!"

"International crude oil prices break through record highs!"

"A feast of tens of trillions of M gold, a victory and carnival that belongs exclusively to capital."

"The youngest and most handsome billionaire is born out of nowhere, the most handsome and wealthy star trader on Wall Street!"

Under normal circumstances, the financial media will be very cautious when reporting news in the financial circle.One is that they are afraid of leaking core data and related information that should not be leaked, and annoy those Wall Street bosses who hold capital and can make the global financial circle tremble with a sneeze.Secondly, I am also afraid of accidentally involving a wide range of things, such as objectively revealing some hidden, darker and higher-level games behind financial transactions, which will cause trouble for the upper body.

However, the major news of the Wall Street bigwigs teaming up to go long in the international crude oil market also needs to be reported emphatically—otherwise, how can the professionalism, news acumen and authority of the global financial media be reflected?

So after weighing it over and over again, in addition to tracking and reporting the rocket’s soaring oil price that broke historical records, some media invariably focused on the manipulating of the market by the Locke Group and several other Wall Street hedge funds (including Eric & Lu Assets). The chief trader——Hua Tiancai was on Lu Chi's body.

The main reason is that Lu Chi's role in this financial war without gunpowder but fierce fighting cannot be ignored.Those forces who were tricked by Lu Zhi couldn't bear the tone, and also incited the media to report it through various channels.In addition to wanting to kill Lu Chi, he also wanted to attract tax attention by disclosing a large amount of data-you must know that the money Lu Chi earned in the international crude oil market has not been successfully converted into cash.In other words, this kid has earned so much in the futures market, but he hasn't paid taxes yet!

Of course, if Lu Chi hadn't directly disclosed the financial scandal of ST Communications in front of the California Securities Regulatory Commission in order to prove his innocence at the Securities Regulatory Commission, it would have indirectly contributed to the "actual performance" of the largest corporate bankruptcy case in M's history. "It's too shocking, and people worry that if there are any more tricks, Lu Chi will continue to anger "irrelevant" people.In addition, no one believes that Lu Chi's operation is so exquisite that it can be called subtle because he got inside information (after all, on such a huge basic market, no one can accurately predict the oil price that fluctuates every day—— Except for Lu Chi, a monster, only God knows how he did it), it is estimated that some people want to "accuse" Lu Chi of manipulating the market and insider trading.

However, it is precisely because Lu Chi's performance is so amazing that no one can accuse him of this crime against his conscience.

It can only be said that God kissed the brain of this Chinese boy, and poured all his love into him.

Because of this, some media affectionately called Lu Chi "God's illegitimate son", but this title was quickly refuted.More people think that even the "illegitimate child of God" cannot do all this.Unless it's God himself.

And because Lu Chi's trading methods in the international crude oil market are too gorgeous and subtle, even the onlookers are too dazzled to see it, so the columnist of "Wall Street Finance" simply wrote "Hundreds of Billions The operation of the M-yuan basic disk—a masterpiece of God" is full of gimmicky words.

However, once the report was released, it was reposted by countless media, and there was no group ridicule and difficulty as expected.And in the process of continuous forwarding, Lu Zhi's title of "God's Hand" has been implemented - at least in the mouths of all media and industry insiders, many people have gradually unified the title.Including the Wall Street bigwigs who sided with Lu Chi.

"To our God!"

Just when the outside world was admiring and admiring, the Locke family, who had a lot of money in the international crude oil market, and several other Wall Street hedge funds also held a small internal celebration in the Silicon Valley villa.

Of course, this is also a feast of capital division, a carnival of sitting on the ground and dividing up the spoils.However, everyone tacitly did not mention the nature of the celebration.

Mr. Locke opened the topic from another angle: "I have already prepared everything you asked me to do. Universal Pictures plans to shoot a movie "The Demon Slayer" adapted from the world's most popular fantasy novel in the second half of the year. There is an elf character, the character and plot are not bad, they agreed to let your brother play this role. In May, Universal Pictures has officially sent someone to the Cannes Film Festival to contact your brother. Listen Said an audition would be arranged at the end of June."

If it wasn't for Lu Chi's personal request, and at that juncture, the old Mr. Locke would not pay attention to such inexplicable trivial matters-even though the Locke family is the largest shareholder of Universal Pictures, the veteran chaebol who came from aristocratic background is still very attractive. Not on people and things in the entertainment industry.

In his own opinion, Mr. Locke thinks that Lu Chi should just mention it casually - after all, this is an obsessive job that he can't extricate himself from. When he arranged the party before, he didn't even bother to take a look at the hottest Hollywood actresses nowadays, and even the Hollywood A-list A restrained boy who can't be named by the name of a superstar at the same level.

As for why Lu Chi made such an incredible request at that time, Old Locke deduced that Lu Chi probably didn't want to owe favors to Wall Street bosses, or for other reasons that he didn't want to show weakness, so he casually consumed everyone's initiative .

However, something happened that surprised Old Locke and the other bosses——

When Old Locke took the initiative to bring up the matter of "The Demon Slayer", instead of being perfunctory as they imagined, Lu Chi asked with great interest: "A movie adapted from the world's most popular fantasy novel? So this movie should be very popular. Who is the director? How much money is Universal Pictures going to invest in making the movie? Does it need additional investment? When will it be released? Besides the elf that my brother is going to play, what other roles are there? Who is Universal Pictures planning to invite to participate? Who is the heroine? What is my brother's character and plot in the movie? What is the name of the elf he plays? When is the audition date..."

A series of questioning made the old Mr. Locke speechless-in fact, he didn't know the specific content of the movie at all.As the largest shareholder of Universal Pictures, the old Mr. Locke didn't even show his face, but asked his assistant to inform the CEO of Universal Pictures and let him arrange things.Then the CEO of Universal Pictures handed over the name of "Demon Slayer" and the character of the elf.

So Mr. Locke only knows that this movie is the biggest production that Universal Pictures plans to shoot in the second half of the year, and there is a plan to make this movie into a series-in this way, Lu Chi's younger brother can also play a few more movies in Hollywood.Other than that, old Mr. Locke doesn't know anything about the movie.He didn't even know the name of the elf that Lu Chi's younger brother was going to play.

Fortunately, he still knows one thing——

"Charles Robertson!" Old Mr. Locke thought of something and said with a decent smile: "The director of this movie is Charles Robertson, he is a very famous director of commercial films in Hollywood."

It's just that Mr. Locke didn't mention it to Lu Chi. The reason why he knew that Charles Robertson was the director of "The Demon Slayer" was because this stubborn and impulsive Hollywood director learned that Universal Pictures wanted to arrange a The Asian actor who took the role of Elven Archer broke into his office desperately and slapped him on the table in protest, thinking he "ruined the movie".

Yet old Mr. Locke was indifferent to Charles Robertson's insistence.It's just a movie, not to mention that Lu Chi's younger brother is still an actor, even if he is just a newcomer to the showbiz, as long as he has an older brother like Lu Chi, Old Locke must stick to this decision.

"In fact, if it weren't for the strict requirements of Charles Robertson, we could even skip the audition and directly arrange for your brother to join the team." Old Mr. Locke handed a glass of whiskey with ice cubes to Lu Chi, calmly Show good: "Because of this, we don't have to worry about the quality of the film at all."

Lu Chi smiled slightly: "Thank you for your help. Old Mr. Locke—"

"Call me Abel!" Old Mr. Locke said with a smile, "That's what my family and friends call me."

After all, the Locke family is too big and has too many people.Therefore, most of the time, relatives, friends and even partners who have a good personal relationship with members of the Locke family will call the members of the Locke family by their names.

Lu Chi was kind and polite, and changed his words with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Abel."

paused.Lu Chi said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I want to call my brother."

Hearing what Lu Chi said, several Wall Street tycoons, including Mr. Locke, looked at each other tacitly.There is no way for everyone to refuse Lu Chi's request.It's just... no one expected that the Wall Street genius and his actor brother seem to have a good relationship.

Old Mr. Locke stroked his delicately trimmed beard with a smile, and felt proud that he seized the same opportunity to show favor in time.However, what everyone didn't expect was that after Lu Chi came back from the phone call, he actually told a very regrettable news——

Lu Chi's younger brother, the Chinese film star who just showed his talents at the Cannes Film Festival, did not accept the film "Demon Slayer". Due to the strong opposition of director Charles Robertson, Lu Heng finally gave up the audition for "Demon Slayer" , and turned to participate in another "Star Map Return".

This scene is really embarrassing.

Even the high-ranking and well-established Abellock blinked his eyes in astonishment—he didn't expect that Charles Robertson would really dare to obey the law to such an extent!

After receiving his brother's call, Lu Chi, who was also very angry in his heart, smiled and said: "Probably that director Robertson was really worried that the participation of a Chinese actor would damage the overall quality of the movie, so he arranged another one in private. An actor familiar with the script in advance and designed the action, competing with my brother. In this case, I can only believe that this big Hollywood director insists on his own director. I wish his movie a big hit—"No wonder!

If it weren't for the fact that his younger brother still had a long way to go in the entertainment industry, and he had to cherish his feathers and be kind to others, Lu Chi wished he could "block" the Hollywood director who humiliated his younger brother on the spot.

"I really didn't expect this big director's racial prejudice to be so serious." A group of Wall Street tycoons watched Lu Chi's sullen and disapproving brows, and smiled at each other tacitly.

The next day, the global entertainment media and gossip tabloids all received a terrible news - the newly promoted member of the billionaire club, the "Hand of God" who became famous in the international crude oil market, turned out to be Berlin actor Lu Heng brother.

In an instant, the melon-eating crowd around the world boiled again.
